Neat, although it's census data from 2000... :-/

It's a bit out of date, especially housing prices. :) And I'm curious how they calculate median age. I expect they include children, because I'm the median age for my neighborhood, and there are a lot of gray hairs around here.

not really. cuz, see, i live in a tiny little town, and i actually know most of my neighbors. bizzare concept anymore.

That is the most recent data available, for most of the data set.

It's census data, so the core data set is collected once a decade.
Why wouldn't they include children?

Because that means that once kid#2 is born the median age of my household will drop from 37 to 20?

Are you sure you're not thinking 'arithmetic mean' when they are writing 'median'?

[judith-s.livejournal.com]

When there is an even number of numbers, the median is the mean of the two middle numbers. Thus, the median of the numbers 2, 4, 7, 12 is (4+7)/2 = 5.5. At least that's what I recall.
